I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent ECG results. It mentioned something like 800 sinus rhythm, and I'm not really sure what that means. Also, my blood pressure showed up as 13084. Is this considered normal?
800 sinus rhythm means that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, typically between 60-100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 800 would be abnormally high and would be a cause for concern. As for the ECG being normal, without seeing the actual ECG tracing, I cannot provide a definitive answer. However, sinus rhythm is considered normal on an ECG. Regarding your blood pressure of 13084, this is considered prehypertension. If you have no other medical conditions and are not experiencing any symptoms, it may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your ECG or blood pressure, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. My heart sometimes feels like it's pounding even when I'm just standing. There are times when I can feel my radial artery and it seems like my heartbeat pauses and then starts again. I had an ECG done earlier, and it showed something like an incomplete RBBB with ST and T changes. I even occasionally feel a pulse in my back. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about these results?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to an irregular heartbeat. Based on your description and ECG findings of incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) with ST and T changes, you may benefit from a medication called Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50mg twice daily, but the dosage may vary depending on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
